Robert Fernandez on Bartra, Denis Suarez and Sandro

Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez spoke after their win over Real Betis, on various players and potential signings. Of Bartra he said: “He has not asked to leave nor will he leave.” Of Sandro, he said: “There will arrive a moment in which we have to decide. We have time to think.”

In terms of incomings, Robert said: “Nolito? They have put out a lot of names. They are all good footballers. Denis Suarez? That’s a possibility. I don’t want to anticipate anything.” Pressured for a stronger answer, he eventually decided to say: “Possibly he could be a signing.”
